Why Wake Forest
Wake offers a top-25, rigorous academic experience while also offering the opportunity to play in one of the most competitive conferences in the country. I appreciate the small class sizes, the warm weather, and the beautiful campus.
Three Things Outside Basketball
I am involved in SAAC (Student Athlete Advisory Committee) at the campus level, at the conference level (ACC Rep), and on the national level (NCAA D1 Rep), I love to travel, and I really value time spent with my family and friends.
Favorite Food
Steak or pizza
Sport Outside of Basketball
Football. I grew up in a family where my dad played, my brothers played, and my dad eventually coached my brothers. I love watching it and being around it. If I could play, I would.
Fun Fact
I have a phobia of cats.
Athlete You Admire
I admire Maya Moore. Not only is she a beast on the court, she is a legend off the court. I am extremely passionate about social justice work, and she exhibits the greatest qualities of that work. I admire her ability to step away from the game to serve, and her passion for change. I admire her faith and her fight.
Plans After Graduation
I want to play professionally
Dream Job
Playing professional basketball or maybe coaching it
